Give H Your Respect

I like the letter H. With H we can make words like hat, house and haemoglobin. If it weren't for H, I'd simply be Appy Cloud.

Yes, H is without doubt a fine letter. But H is not being given the respect it deserves. For example, words like sugar are hijacking H's sweet sound, without giving it proper recognition. It's not pronounced "soo-gar" so why not spell it as shugar?

The worst offenders are the French and the British. All too frequently they ignore the sound of H even though it's present!

"'ello luv!" an Engligh woman might say.

French words like habite are pronounced as if there simply wasn't an H there at all.

...'orrible...ah, I mean it's horrible!

I implore you all, give H the respect it deserves, because if you don't, it might leave, and our language and others will suffer for it.
